Software
The NX10 comes supplied with Samsung Master and Samsung Raw convertor software. The first of these is for basic image browsing and editing, while the latter is a rebadged version of Silkypix Developer for editing the SRW raw files produced by the NX10.

HDMI
The NX10 can be connected to a television or monitor via the camera’s HDMI socket. Those with a compatible Samsung Anynet+ televisions can even control the playback of images on the camera via their TV remote control.

Beauty Shot
For those who regularly take portraits, Samsung’s Beauty Shot feature may be of particular interest. It detects skin tones in an image and then lightens and smooths them for more flattering portraits. The effect can be applied either when the image is taken or to a saved image.
Lens distortion
Both the 18-45mm kit lens and the 30mm pancake lens suffer from slight curvilinear distortion. This is currently not corrected in-camera for JPEG files, although raw files can be corrected using the supplied Samsung Raw convertor software.
